Walk dogs, hike with hubby, gym for 17 min spin, short run and walk, and 10 min elliptical. Everything but weights today!

I definitely want a goal on running. Starting with 25 for the month and I'll see how to gauge for next month, since I also do spin class. Yay!

Definitely in! Hopefully more than 10, since I'm just re-starting my efforts, but I'd be happy with 10!

Hi Kath- I'm from the states and have lost 28 pounds- have 27 to go. I always enjoy good friends on mfp :)

Yesterday was a tough tough day- hungry (appetite) all day. Consumed way over my caloric goal so, right or wrong, I worked out a LOT to make up for it, which kept me from eating the night away, and countered my mistakes. Just in the last week, I've been craving stuff. Keep reminding myself how far ahead of the game... Had…

I was truthful yesterday, although i went wayyyy over calories. Got lots of exercise in to make up for it :)

I so agree! How could this possibly deserve an 'I am so upset' posting? When did mfp become weird version of fb?

Yes!!! I've always liked tea but had never been in the habit- always went for the diet soda. Well I committed to no more soda at the end of September and I've been drinking hot tea every day since. Green, a couple of the Yogi detox teas, peppermint, cinnamon, chamomile. I've only had a couple I just couldn't develop a…

Great job, Jamie!

I love brussel sprouts! I've never pancooked them but I clean, cut in half, toss with olive oil, garlic salt, maybe cumin, and put in oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. The overcooked leaves are my favorite part! Tonight I did the same with chopped broccoli, orange bell pepper and kale, but only 10 minutes. Amazing. Ate…

I'm also 5' 7", and started my process at the end of September at 207.5 lbs. My old fitness instructor in Phoenix (I now live in Minneapolis) put me on a 30 day challenge, using highly nutritious meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch- strictly a 30 day plan to act as a jumpstart. It worked. I'm now past the 30…

I've always been against the meal replacement dieting, but starting October 1st, my old fitness trainer in Phoenix (I live in MN now) had me do a 30 day challenge of using highly nutritious shake powders, mixed with yogurt or almond milk and fruit, for two meals, while also snacking and then making healthy, whole food…

I'm in New Hope- would Love to meet some locals who are working on similar goals!
